SomethingFishy Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Would it be ok to add 8 or 9 rummy nose tetras in with my school of rasboras and cherry barbs? I have always loved rummy noses but my tetra tank is nearing overstocking, so I thought I could mix them into the barb tank......yes or no?

jvision Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've kept huge schools in smallish tanks - like 100 cardinal tetras in a 55 gal! Just over filter. Also, I'd add bigger rummy-noses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTK Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Like jvision said make sure you have the filteration to handle that many fish. For the compatibility rasboras and rummy nose will be fine. Cherry barbs are good for the most part just make sure you have a decent size school of the rummy nose. The larger the fish the better. The filteration is the big thing.

SomethingFishy Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks guys, I'm definitely over-filtering.....regardless, I did get rummy noses but put them in with the tetras. Neat effect....neons, black neons and rummy noses altogether make for nice looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
